Monday, 2/9/15, the RRN will deliver this statement to Yannick’s attackers at CNOHA.
Please help us reach 100 signatures before then!
On January 30, an assassination attempt was made on Yannick Etienne, a militant of Batay Ouvriye (Workers Fight), in the SONAPI industrial zone of Port-au-Prince. The perpetrators were flunkies of the NGO/yellow union CNOHA (Central National Workers of Haiti).
The Rapid Response Network stands in solidarity with our sister, who has been a steadfast and courageous organizer for decades, at great personal risk and sacrifice. Batay Ouvriye is a rarity in this world: a genuinely autonomous and combative workers organization, and we will not stand by and allow collaborationist thugs to harm its militants!
Yannick belongs to the struggle, belongs to the entire international working class. Anyone who faces her with violence, will have to face all of us!
We Stand in Solidarity with the International Working Class!
We exhort our friends and sympathizers to also denounce this act internationally, and put CNOHA on notice that they will not get away with harming Yannick!
